My Students
The students at our school are amazing! They come into the classroom excited to learn and become involved in whatever topic that is in the plan. We have wonderful support from our parents. We have a very diverse population of students: culturally, economically, and with different learning abilities. It's become my goal to try and stay ahead of them!
Our third grade team would like to help our students become aware of their financial responsibilities while they are still young: learning about how to earn and save for things they may want later, and becoming aware of the value of earning as a reward.
Our students are mostly from homes with economic hardships. I would like to furnish the type of education for these students early so they can appreciate what they have, and how to reap the rewards of financial independence later. It's hard enough being a financially literate adult, and our team would like to make it easier for our 8-9 year-old students!
My Project
For this project I am asking for some materials that our teachers can use to help supplement the education of our children as they become financially prepared for the future.
Even though these children are only 8 and 9 years old, it is never too early to learn to appreciate earning a goal through hard work.
Some of our students are still struggling with the difference between a dime and a nickel, while others think that their lunch is "just there" waiting for them. These materials will give our students the opportunity to see who pays for these things, and from where the money comes! These supplies will help our teachers reach that goal.
Half of students from low‑income households
